The Other Rachels

If you Google “Rachel Corrie” (the 23-year old killed in Gaza in 2003 when she stood in front of an Israeli bulldozer), you will get about 520,000 pages that mention her.

There were many other Rachels, less noticed by Google or the outside world, who died during the same time frame.  None intentionally placed themselves in harm’s way.  All of them were murdered -- while standing in a grocery store, waiting for a bus, sitting at a seder, eating at a pizzeria, staying at home with their kids, driving on the road. 

Each of them was an entire world.

Anne Lieberman has their stories, with pictures worth many thousand words.  Take the time to remember.
